"Oh minister, the Official Secrets Act isn't there to protects secrets! It's there to protect officials!" I'd actually say the Yes Minister years were the good times because Sir Humphrey was only the bad guy half the time, the other half he was stopping Jim Hacker from doing something really dumb and usually something really bad for the country. Usually because Jim knew that "a year is a long time in politics" and while something would cause big problems in a decade "there is an election in a year". The thing that actually shocks me is how fast the civil servants bent the knee to progressivism, especially after "weathering the storm" of new political fads for 460 years. (Or whatever number Sir Humphrey used to say when he always said "well..because it has been this way for 460 years, why would we change it now?"

I suspect she discovered Yes Minister in 2022 and is actually using Sir Humphrey's advice to Jum Hacker on how to avoid questions & how to shift the blame.

She was clearly unaware that things like the Equality Act 2010 were not about equality etc when she became an MP. This is true of nearly every MP. Few got into politics because they wanted to change these constitutional things - they were just good at getting selected by their local party and then had good luck to get elected. What we need to do over the next 4 years is develop a national movement, using Truss's ideas, (but not her) and people like David Starkey, to take forward these ideas and develop ways to communicate them to other politicians, media and the public.

Fairplay boys!!! What an interview

Francis is correct to point out that the Conservatives have had 14 years to reverse Blair's and Brown's policies. Truss is disingenuous to portray herself and her fellow Tory MPs as political innocents when they came to power in 2010. Cameron and his advisers referred to Blair as 'The Master'. They saw Blair as the model to follow, if they were to stay in power for 14 years. (New Labour under Blair and Brown was in power for 13 years). They have achieved what they set out to achieve. Truss may be excused for not having understood Liability Driven Investment Strategies but the person she made her Chancellor certainly should have known about them. Pension funds were taking leveraged bets on interest rates because interest rates were and had been too low for the funds to meet the demands on their funds. Likewise the Bank of England is now seeking government funds to cover the losses the Bank made from buying gilts at 0% and holding them as interest rates rose. Together with house prices at ridiculous levels, these are entirely predictable consequences of Quantitative Easing. So is the eradication of entrepreneurship in building successful businesses and its replacement by a rentier economy where enrichment occurs through holding assets. Truss and Kwarteng were ignorant of these issues because they never questioned Brown's policy of QE. It was simply easier to continue the policy and keep the Ministerial salary and car.

It turned out that Boris had no idea and he was basically another Blair fanboy once you scratch beneath the surface. Then along came Covid which also stopped all government initiative for at least two years.

Many seem to have already made their minds up, but I think a lot of what she says has merit. The BoE for example conveniently decided to start mass selling gilts the day before the mini budget announcement, which led to the bond market crisis. Bond yields actually soared higher (and still are, I believe) under Sunak and Hunt, and yet not a peep from the media. Numerous cabinet members have also spoken out about the gatekeeping the OBR does, where if it can't forecast something (either due to incompetency or the nature of a complicated policy proposal) it poo poos the policy and gives negative coverage to the media which in turn spooks the markets if the government goes ahead with the policy anyway. In short, all these institutions have locked the government in to being unable to do anything but tax and spend. That is essentially her message here, and she's right about that.

@howmanybeansmakefive

The BoE/OBR needs sorting out, and I agree they are an undemocratic/technocratic limit on government. But that doesn't absolve Truss from needing to plan for pushback, getting people behind her, and political planning for how to get her agenda through effectively. The OBR isn't based any deep tradition/convention, it was set up by the Cameron gov and can be dismantled if the government want to, which could have a lot of political support if they made it a priority instead of using it as a political tool when it suits then moaning when it doesn't (same with BoE monetary independence which came in with new labour). Also everyone seems to forget how Truss was/is a peak neoliberal and globalist, believes in the wisdom of bankers and financiers, but then throws a tantrum at them when they act as they always do thwarting government policies.

I don't want asylum immigration from Africa and the middle east.

As a party member I put Liz in the job as the most conservative candidate, when she was removed by spineless MP's I left the party for ever too. She is constantly blamed for interest rates when the greedy financial sector were just waiting for any excuse to raise rates and make vast profits. It would have happened at any moment anyway and when Sunak was installed and undid her policies the rates didn't come down - proving her policies were not the cause, just an excuse to raise them. I just think its a pity she won't get a proper chance at fixing the Tories as no one gets a second go.

Just to say before I even watch this, I am so impressed that you put this together and that our former PM has the media savvy to see that you are a place to be seen! I was never on the train that thought it was smart to mock someone who played the game well enough to become PM and I was actually respecting of the fact that she played the eff-you card when she saw quickly that she was not going to be *allowed* to change anything of significance.

She was never intellectually capable of being a Prime Minister and those who selected her clearly did not have the nation's interests at heart. We have been betrayed by the system, yes of course, but let's not forget how recklessly she endangered the economy and the lasting damage she has caused. She is a product of the 55 Tufton Street lobby groups who put theory above reality and we are all better off without her anywhere near the seat of power. Let her return to the obsccurity she deserves.

Thanks to Lady Truss for appearing and sharing. A lot of it reminds of Yes Minister... combined with the problems within the Conservative Party. But it makes you inevitably wonder who can turn that juggernaut around. I guess it would take courage, conviction, skill, subtlety, some form of charisma/broad support, along with of course wanting it to change in the first place. And then being able to get elected. Also thanks to you two. Big interview and you listened well, while still asking the big question.

So many sound bites. They would've been better off interviewing the lettuce

@@thetruth9210 You mean the cheese monger trying to kick start 2.5% growth with an anaemic rebate structure, or the conjecture that the markets would've stimulated growth via tax cuts but no figures were published, or when she ignored advice that LDI crisis (sub prime) crisis was looming etc. etc. etc. WTF did you hear?

Wow she really isn’t very intelligent at all. Just blaming everyone else for her mess

I'm an American, I don't know as much about what happened to Truss, but even I can tell she's being cagey. Tell me something I don't know, love!

KK had a bit of a smirk on his face all the way through. Me thinks he was not entirely convinced....😆

Brilliant interview guys ...if only she knew then what she dose now ...alas still very good and intresting

PLEEEEASE say you guys asked her to hold up her book and that she (once again) held it back-to-front and upside down! Shes such a real life Alan Partridge and doesnt know it! 😄😆😅🤣

Good stuff. Not my words, Michael, but those of Shakin Stevens.

Steve Jobs had absolute authority in doing want he wanted with Apple. Most people won't appreciate this. No one in gov has this kind of power.

The problem is the same all throughout the West: the bureaucracy doesn't want to be responsive to the people, and will sabotage any policy (or person) who threatens their racket. The first step in fixing things is downsizing the bureaucracy.

Tell me again why I'm paying for the BBC???

The BBC produce an enormous amount of TV, Radio, news websites, not to mention the world service which projects British soft power and is insanely good value for money. Given the above I understand people could say, I don't like anything on there. To you and those other people I say the BBC is the reason everything else is so good. Sky news is good because it has to compete with news 24 for example, that is another reason Murdoch hates it. If we got rid of the BBC he could slay the journalism and make more money. There is a lot of government waste out there but the BBC is not part of it

@@washingmachineenvy My point, and many others, is, why can't the BBC make interviews like this???????? BBC news has become irrelevant

Liz hits the nail on the head. This is why politics and democracy in the Uk doesnt work, its broken.

The LDI time bomb was fully written up by a Dutch financial analyst a year before the crash. That paper was fully briefed in London including the BoE. They were accountable and should have unwound those positions a year earlier when the Dutch paper was socialised.

Lizz Truss resigns in disgrace and these clowns barely challenge her on anything. Just let her spout nonsense about so called wokery.
